how to put these in???

hey I was looking at thishttp://www.store.yahoo.com/phase2motorsports/rsrracsprin1.html
and before i order it i was wondering how hard it is to put in. one of my friends told me that you need something to push the original shock down in order to put it in. is that right? or is it easy to put in like take out and put back together?

youll need a spring compressor, or be very very very strong w/ stamina

you can borrow one from autozone with a deposit. i heard it wasnt too bad to install. make sure to get an alignment after you're done.

re said it.

BTW, do a little research on which shock will take the abuse from those springs...but I'm thinking you will have to get them revalved

I can't remember if AGX's max out at 4k or 5k. Try emailing KYB to get a 100% sure answer.

When I had RSR Race springs on my car for a bit, the former owner told me that AGX's are too soft (at max setting) to match the race springs correctly, thus he decided after more research to get Koni Yellows instead.
